another picture of the Camaro.

UPDATE 4/9/07 CAR IS PAINTED! actually like 3 weeks ago.
I have both door windows in, both vent windows, door handles, lock cylinders, weather stripping, all 4 side marker lights, and the front grill assembly. All I need now is the fender eyebrow moldings, but they're on back order. We also put in both tail lights.

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova
that looks awesome^
we took the grill and masked the top part off, then painted it black. we then sanded the paint off the ribs, then we polished them using mothers wheel polish. Now it looks like a custom billet grill.

 

1/25-I got some pics of my car getting painted, it's still in primer but all the door jambs and everything else is cut in, ready for paint.

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova UPDATE 10/1 The almost finished product

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova UPDATE 9/28 that tail panel just didnt match up.

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova so we're going to install GOODmark!


 

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova
this is the back end, we replaced a big portion of the tail panel, and we just finished the quarter panel. the deck lid didnt need any body work so I just primed it.

 

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova


we replaced the floorpans(just 4 small sections)and covered it por 15 so it will never ever rust again. And you also can see my B&M Pro Stick with a polished cover. The tranny is a 350 turbo w/ kit.

 

 

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova


this is the new dash pad, (sorry about the camera lens) painted the dash part. The dash bezel was bought off of ebay as new old stock. my gauges are Autogage by Auto Meter.

 

 

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova


these are my doors, I did body work on both and primed both. we took them off so we can get ready to spray primer on the car.(doorjambs, etc)

 

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova These are the front runners, My Cragar Street Stars. I also have 4 brand new center caps to go w/them.

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova And these are the meats. I picked up all 4 wheels at a swapmeet for $200.

Tylers_Nova's 1970 Chevrolet Nova This is the tread pattern, the tires are lemans.
